‘Why am I always so helpless in front of her? It’s as if I’m willing to let her do whatever she wants!’
While having dinner at the Stephenson family’s mansion, Lina saw that all the dishes were to her taste. They were Emerald City’s local delicacies that she used to like to eat, but a small part of them were J City’s special dishes.
It was not surprising to see J City’s cuisine here, but to cook Emerald City’s food required a chef familiar with the cuisine.
Lina dug in happily, peeking at Hadwin Stephenson from time to time. In the end, she looked at him blatantly.
How nice. She could sit beside him and have dinner with him, If only they could be as sweet and happy in the future.
Not only them, but their child would eat with them as well. Then, they would talk about the interesting things that happened every day. It was nice to think of it.
Of course, it would be better to have more than one child…
Lina could not help smiling as she thought about it. She looked a little silly with her red and swollen cheeks.
Hadwin Stephenson look up at Lina, who had a silly smile on her face. “What’s on your mind?”
“I’m wondering how many children we’re going to have,” Lina blurted out.
Hadwin Stephenson froze and then suddenly sneered. “What’s the matter? Are you so sure that I’ll forgive you and be with you in a month?” Somehow, the thought of how many children they would have did not bother him.
Lina suddenly came to her senses as if he had rained on her parade.
“I’m not sure I’m just I’m just.. Biting her lip, she seemed of a loss for words.
Looking of the way she looked, he felt flustered again, “Alright, you don’t have to explain. Eat.”
Lina lowered her head and had two mouthfuls. Suddenly, she seemed to recall something. She looked up and said, “Hadwin, it’s going to be your birthday in three days. Can I-”
“No!” He interrupted her before letting her finish. “Lina, you can forget about it if you want me to take you to my birthday party. Who are you attending as? My ex-girlfriend?”
Lina’s hands that were holding the chopsticks tightened as her face paled a little. “I… I know. I… I wasn’t thinking of going to your birthday party. I just wanted to ask if I could have a cake with you when you come back from your birthday party? I… I’ll prepare the cake. I just… I want to wish you a happy birthday and have a slice of birthday cake with you.”
Looking at the way she was so humble and meek, Hadwin Stephenson was not the slightest bit happy. All he felt was a stuffy feeling in his chest that made breathing difficult for him.
‘Have a slice of birthday cake with me?’
She once said to him with a smile, “Hadwin, how about! prepare a cake for you every birthday from now on? I’ll eat a slice of your birthday cake every year until our hair turns white and our teeth fall out!”
“Every birthday? Does that mean you’ll stay with me until we’re old?”
“Didn’t you say we can’t break up if we started dating? Look, I have no intention of breaking up with you. I’m gonna hang on to you for the rest of my life!”
“Okay, hang on to me for the rest of your life. You’re not allowed to go away!”
Their laughter and sweet words at the time seemed to still echo in his ears. He never expected them to break up and he was the one who initiated it.
“You can wait if you think you can, but I don’t know when I’ll be back,” Hadwin Stephenson said gruffly.
Color returned to her pale little face as he said this. Her pitiful expression vanished and turned into happiness. “I’ll wait for you no matter how late it is!” She grinned at him.
It was silly to see that smile with her swollen cheeks, but he watched it with some fascination.
At night, Hadwin Stephenson closed his eyes as he lay in bed, but he was sleepy at all. All he could think about was Lina’s voice and smile.
The room the butler had arranged for her was right next to his.
For some reason, the thought of her sleeping in the next room seemed to make him even more agitated.
Just then, his room door was suddenly pushed open and someone crept in.
‘Only… that woman Lina dares to enter my room at this hour!”
Hadwin Stephenson speculated. Sure enough, the next moment, Lina’s voice rang in the room. “Hadwin, are you asleep?”
Hadwin Stephenson closed his eyes and did not speak, intending to pretend to sleep to have her go back to her room.
Lina went to Hadwin Stephenson’s bedside while holding a large pregnancy pillow.
Realizing that Hadwin Stephenson had fallen asleep, Lino hesitated for a moment and said, “Well… it’s my first night here. It’s hard to sleep alone in the guest room. I’m sure you know it’s not good for the baby in the belly if the mother can’t sleep, so I thought I’d sleep in your room. Is that okay?”
Hadwin Stephenson could not help but wonder if she was only asking because she could see that he was pretending to sleep.
However, what she said next left him speechless. What she said was… “If you don’t object, that means you agree.
Don’t worry. I’m a good sleeper!”
‘This woman… did it on purpose! Would anyone asleep be able to object?’
For a moment, Hadwin Stephenson began to wonder whether to open his eyes.
Then, he felt a slight movement on the other side of the bed. It was obvious that she was climbing onto the bed.
There was a rustling sound, and the room was quiet agai However, before he could think of what to do next, a hand pressed on his arm and then a thigh rested on his thigh.
‘Doesn’t this woman…. already have a pregnancy pillow? Mow could… Does she understand what it means to break into a man’s room in the middle of the night and do that?
‘Does she think I’m numb?’
Just then, Lina’s body scooted closer to Hadwin Stephenson. He could even smell the faint fragrance of her body from the tip of his nose. He could also feel her breathing down his neck and earlobe.
It felt like a test to him!
He could hardly suppress the desire that was thrashing about in his body because of her actions.
